Chapter 800 I Won’t Save You This Time (43)
The eighth day of June is an auspicious day for getting married.
Before daybreak, Yan Caiyue's boudoir was already bustling with activity, with maids serving her, bridesmaids putting on makeup, and some young ladies who had a good relationship with her coming over to add to her makeup.
Even Chen Ang's sister Chen Sanniang was there.
The Yan family has no other masters except Yan Caiyue, and she has only been in Yucheng for a short time. Chen Ang was afraid that she would be too lonely here, so he asked his sister to come and keep her company.
This was not really in accordance with the rules, but he had no choice but to do it - rules were nothing more important than making Yan Caiyue happy.
Yan Caiyue, who had adhered to these etiquette and dogma for many years, suddenly stopped insisting at that moment.
At this moment, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, and her pretty and dignified face was reflected in the bronze mirror.
The bridesmaid held a sandalwood comb and gently combed her long black hair, praising her: "Your skin is so good, like freshly peeled milk, not only white and translucent, but also so tender that you can squeeze water out of it."
Then she glanced at the dazzling array of bottles and jars on the dressing table, her eyes showing surprise: "Miss, you have so many things here, many of which I have never seen before. Are all these things used on the face?"
Yan Caiyue responded: "It's just for fun, not all for dressing up."
Feeling that her master was being too simplistic, Xiao Yuan at the side puffed out her chest unconvinced, her tone full of pride: "As for hair oil alone, ordinary people would at most use osmanthus oil, but my wife uses peach blossom oil and jasmine oil."
Afterwards, she told the bridesmaid about those rare skin care products and makeup items on the market.
Just as she was about to continue talking, Yan Caiyue pulled her hand, causing the little girl to stop talking.
However, just these few words made the bridesmaid gasp in amazement, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Strange! There are so many kinds of lip balm, and the colors are all rare goods that can't be seen on the market. The girl is really knowledgeable and skillful."
Yan Caiyue smiled slightly and said calmly: "These are just some little gadgets, nothing special. I saw a lot of them in the capital. The noble ladies of the aristocratic families all have their own secret recipes for beauty maintenance. Mine is just a trifle."
Although she said it lightly, there was a pride in her brow that was not common among ordinary ladies.
As the bridesmaid carefully put on her makeup, she nodded in agreement: "Young lady, what you said makes sense. I have an older sister who works as a hairdresser in the capital. I often hear her talk about the tastes of the ladies from aristocratic families. They are really varied and all kinds of strange and bizarre."
She paused, thinking that although Yan Caiyue was a new bride, she was still a virgin after all, so some private things were not said.
In fact, even if the bridesmaid didn't say it, Yan Caiyue knew it. She had "followed" Concubine Xiao in the past and had seen a lot, so she would naturally learn it.
After she finished dressing up, Mrs. Quanfu, who was specially invited by the Chen family, also arrived.
Holding a lucky comb, she combed Yan Caiyue's hair while reciting auspicious words: "One comb will get you all the hair to the end, two combs will get you white hair to the eyebrows, three combs will get you a house full of descendants..."
With these words, the dressing ceremony was successfully completed.
At this time, Chen Ang was "passing three levels" outside.
Although he was a warrior, he had already made sufficient preparations.
Facing the test of the crowd, he calmly chanted aloud: "In the past, I was going to travel to Yujing, and the first immortal promised me the top spot. Today, Qin and Jin have met, and I have ordered the phoenixes to come down from the dressing room."
Although this poem by Cui Zhuang was not written by him, it fit the artistic conception well and helped him pass the exam smoothly.
Inside the house, Yan Caiyue listened to the cheers outside, her lips slightly raised and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
When Chen Ang arrived at the door of the boudoir, Yan Caiyue, who had finished dressing and wearing a bright red wedding dress, was also escorted out of the room by the matchmaker and the maid Xiaoyuan.
The best embroiderer in the entire Yucheng now is naturally Yan Caiyue.
However, she embroidered the wedding dress herself, but she did not use the traditional dragon and phoenix patterns, but instead used pomegranates.
The pomegranate flowers depicted in gold thread are in clusters, and the pomegranate seeds, which symbolize fertility and good fortune, make Yan Caiyue look even more joyful.
Chen Sanniang was standing behind Yan Caiyue at this time. She looked up and saw her usually mature and steady brother looking dazed. She couldn't help but laugh at him, "Hey! Wake up!"
Chen Ang suddenly came back to his senses. He had learned today's etiquette before, but when he saw his sweetheart, he forgot a lot of things.
He took a step forward, gently held her hand, and whispered, "Yue'er, I'm here to pick you up."
Yan Caiyue, who was holding a round fan, quickly steadied herself and did not put down the fan, but her coquettish voice still reached Chen Ang's ears.
The soft and sticky "fool" made the usually serious Chen Ang grin unconsciously.
Chen Sanniang was so overwhelmed by this scene that she kept winking at her brother - stop embarrassing yourself.
Fortunately, the best man beside Chen Ang was reliable. He gently pulled him, and then he realized that he seemed to have done something stupid again.
But it doesn’t matter, isn’t it normal to do something on the wedding day?
With that, the two of them walked hand in hand towards the bridal sedan. When Yan Caiyue got on the sedan, the bridesmaid sang loudly beside her: "The bride is getting on the sedan. The auspicious time has arrived!"
Chen Ang sat on the horse and looked back at the curtain of the sedan chair slowly being lowered.
After the bearers lifted the bridal sedan, the wedding procession set off again. The sounds of gongs and drums, firecrackers and cheers were intertwined, creating a very lively atmosphere.
The sedan chair drove all the way to the gate of Chen's house, and Chen Ang jumped off the horse with smooth movements.
But Father Chen, who was standing at the door with his wife, felt a little embarrassed - although he was also very impatient when he married his wife, it was obvious that his son was better than his father.
Not knowing what his old father was thinking, Chen Ang personally opened the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Yan Caiyue out.
After that, he never let go of the other's hand, and walked all the way into the main hall...
As the master of ceremonies shouted, the two stood together and saluted.
After entering the bridal chamber and drinking the wedding wine, they finally became a legitimate couple.
The red dragon and phoenix candles flickered, illuminating the figures of the two people. Perhaps they will be happy in this life!
This atmosphere also infected Mi Ershi. Today, he was drinking wedding wine at Chen's house as the bride's guest, but he still maintained his principles.
Until the end of the wedding banquet, Mi Twenty was still conscious.
Thinking that Aunt Yan would not need his protection tonight, he decided to give himself a day off.
just
Mi Twenty had just laid down on his bed when he heard a slight sound and a long spike stabbed towards him.
"Little Sanshi, what are you doing!" Mi Twenty screamed and jumped up from the bed, nimbly avoiding the opponent's attack.
"Who told you to drink? I'm going to test whether you are drunk or not!" Although he said this, Mi Sanshi did not stop his attack.
